Balancing Act!

[Post New]by puzmom on Apr 28, 09 1:07 PM
Hi! This is my 1st. post but I have enjoyed and appreciated advice given in these forums. I am in Balancing Act and I just can't figure out how to "decipher the code". If I click on the letters on the wall, it says "Looks like some kind of dictionary" and if I click on the box with the dial is says "You need to decipher the code". What am I missing? Thanks!

puzmon,
Did you Click the scale that's on the floor( right side of the screen under the torches) and click the gold statue that's on the black column? After that you need to pick up the stones that are located between the 2 torches on the right side of the screen. The goal here is to place stones that equal the weight of the golden statue. The way you achieve this is placing stones and the scale and trying to figure out if their combined weight equal the weight of the golden statue. You can only put a maximum of 3 stones on the scale at a time.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying 4mybirds4. I have already done the scale thing. I just can't seem to get the dial to respond to moving the arrow. It keeps saying I have to decipher the code. Frustrating!

puzmom,
Return the golden statue to the first black column. Once you weigh the stones keep putting them on the 2nd black column, once its correct the wall will open up and a code will appear. Once you're finished with that, you have to translate the writing using the dictionary found on the wall, then move the dial according to the translated writing. Take the circle and watch the markings, starting from the top being the number one.
Hope this helps!

Looks like I missed a step. I need to weigh all the stones to get the code!! I thought I was done weighing them after getting the dictionary. I will try that ! Thank you SO much 4mybirds4!!!

Hi puzmom, I have posted a short video in photobucket on how to do the Balancing Act. I'll send you the link to the video. The code is random so it will be different in your game than in the video. But the video will show you how everything works.

Good luck!

Like puzmom, I can't get the stones to balance! I have tried every combo I can think of and still no solution. Can you help me too?

I was confused by the stone balancing too. I couldn't figure out why something didn't happen when I put stones on the scale and it looked like it was balanced. Then I found out that after you weigh each combination of stones, and you think you have it balanced, put them on the black column in the right side. If you had the correct combination, then the scales go back into the scene. Keep trying combinations, but remember to put them on the column to see if they're right! Hope this helps.

Finally got out of the tomb, now having trouble with Balancing Act. The Stones will not go on the scales. May I have the link you sent to another little fish, showing how Balancing Act works? Thank you.

To find these pictures and videos:
Do a Google search for Photobucket. When your search brings up the results just go to the main Photobucket site . On that page there is an Image Search box. Put the two words lizziek photos in that box and search.

It will come back and say “No matches were found to your search request.” Keep going to the bottom of that page and it will say “Are you looking for the Photobucket user lizziek photos? Click here to see this user’s album.” Click on that and you will be on my main page.

Look on the left of the page and you will see the game album names. Click on the album Azada . When you get to the Azada album look on the left of the page again and you will see the game sub-album names. Click on the sub-album Balancing Act.

I hope you find it and that the pictures help you. Good luck and enjoy the game.

I'm obviously missing the point here, the markings on the wall are in a vertical lineup, the markings below the dial are in two horizontal lines yet the dial is circular, I can't see the logic? help needed desperatly.
